Do you have a source that Putin sent soldiers to rape children?

So, just NBC news doing the usual and boosting baseless claims like it did about Hamas and beheaded babies? Do y'all even read the shit you post or do you just skim for a headline that matches what you want to say?

The report cites no evidence and only points to "anonymous sources" (how surprising). NBC also doesn't cite any evidence and points to other articles posted by themselves, one of which says are in the process of collecting the evidence but:

Experts worry that investigations could be less efficient and that some evidence could be mishandled or not make its way to investigative teams with the International Criminal Court and the Prosecutor General’s Office in Ukraine

Really convenient. Excellent standards of proof as always. No wonder the ICJ has denounced the lawfare of Ukraine.

The Court has held that certain materials, such as press articles and extracts from publications, are regarded ‘not as evidence capable of proving facts.’

Indeed.

That article doesn't contain anything about Putin sending soldiers to rape children. Did you post the wrong link?
